RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
Dunno if that worse case scenario would happen, at least it hasnt been the case in Iowa where cougar sightings are now fairly common. In fact, the last i heard, they did not want to protect them too much because they wanted people to retain the right to kill them in defense of people or property.

RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
Will cougers attack and kill people or are they shy animals?
|
RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
Cougars are normally a reclusive cat for the most part, but people are killed nearly every year by cougar attacks, primarily in the Western US. They are dfinitely an animal to be respected and treated with the uptmost caution.

RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
You will start seeing them just as much as you see coyotes soon.They can thrive about anywhere and predation on them is minimal.So watch your back out there guys.

Droptine,
How about posting links to these biologists, the verified photos of NJ cougars and any other proof your research has uncovered. Proof of them in the Catskills here in NY would be interesting as well. Steve |
RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
ORIGINAL: DropTine249 We have them in NJ...Mostly the North-East. But we have seen them as far as Central NJ.... I was doing some research on why we are seeing more and more sightings and obviously the developing of prior rural areas/forests is a major contributor. In NJ, biologists said that our sightings are due to mothers teaching kittens to hunt. They travel vast distances before returning to the catskills for the winter. Pretty interesting. The ones we saw were nowhere near the size of the ones shown on TV, but they were cougars nonetheless. they are moving ,i feel from state to state as you said. we see them in spring/summer and late fall, but it seems that no tracks to much are found in winter. i still feel they move to areas where they want to be in winter. we have 1 cougar that is being heard in hammersly fork area and confirmed tracks. where we have sighting, they disappear ,then reappear in few years. only can mean that cougars are moving a lot more than we think do to food and weather and other cougars. |

If its true there is a mount of this cat somewhere.This guy is a Taxidermist. |

RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
Charlie - surely you realize the summer tourists drive them from the Catskills - and they like to head to the shore as much as anybody.
Also gives them the chanceto train their kittens on how to be spotted, but never photographed.:D Steve |
RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
ORIGINAL: Charlie P i think it may be do to gas prices Depends on the location. I've heard cougar movement in the midwest has not slowed at all with gas prices possibly due to the ethanol subsidies. According to a local expert, Pa cougars seemed to stop moving when gas hit $3.50. Florida panthers are close enough to Disney world that the word is that most of them have not altered their vacation plans at all;) |
